COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA NOT DETECTED
Comments
The results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 virus was not present in the given sample at the time of testing.
Test Method(s)
PCR-COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)-A Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) based on Real time RT PCR method using target specific primers and probes.
The assay utilizes target specific amplification of two or more specific genes of SARS-COV-2 virus.
The amplification of one or more genes indicate the presence of SARS-COV-2 RNA.
The amplification of only the internal control in the absence of specific genes indicates the absence of SARS-COV-2 RNA.
Limitations:
1. A false negative result may occur if inadequate numbers of organisms are present in the specimen due to improper collection, transport or handling.
2. RNA viruses in particular show substantial genetic variability. Such variability resulting in mismatches between the primers and probes and the target sequences can result
in diminished assay performance and possible false negative results.
Note: This test was validated at Lanka Hospitals Diagnostics (Pvt) Ltd.
